Happy New Year’s Eve everyone. I can’t believe today is the last day of 2018!  Each year I like to take New Year’s Eve to reflect back on the year we’ve had and this one definitely takes the cake!  2018 was filled with so many incredible moments and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you following along with my journey! To celebrate the amazing year I’ve had, I’m sharing my top 18 moments of 2018 in today’s post! It was hard to narrow them down to an order so I just put them in chronological order!

We kicked off 2018 in Cabo San Lucas at The Cape Hotel to finalize all of our wedding details. Check out the full post here—>Top 5 Destination Wedding Planning Tips

2) I celebrated my two different bachelorette parties with all my best gals! See more on my bachelorette party here—>5 Essentials You Need For The Perfect Bachelorette Party 

3) I hosted the most delicious bridal party luncheon/cooking class at Simplee Gourmet in New Orleans. See the full post here—> New Orleans Bridesmaids Luncheon Cooking Class

4) Blake and I got married with just our family present in New Orleans! For anyone who missed the blog post explanation…I had two weddings: one small family ceremony in New Orleans and then one in Cabo with all of our friends in March! I realize that it’s a bit of a unique situation, but we had always wanted to get married in Cabo! We talked about it for years, but when my dad was diagnosed with MS last year, our plans shifted.

I wanted my dad to feel included and be able to walk me down the aisle without me having to give up my dream of getting married in cabo. So I decided that the best decision for us was to just have two ceremonies, which would also allow us to include all the family members who are unable to travel to Cabo! Sounds like a lot of extra work, right? It was, but it was 100% worth it! I will be sharing more wedding details this year in 2019!

5) In March we set out on one of the biggest adventures of our lives…marriage and a big Cabo reception with all of our friends! I also launched my Wedding Collection with GiGi New York. See here—> GiGi New York x #HauteOffTheMarket Wedding Collection

7) We hosted our rehearsal dinner on a sailboat in Cabo to take all of our friends to see the famous El Arco! I will be sharing more on that in 2019!

8) We celebrated wedding ceremony #2 at The Cape hotel in Cabo with all of our friends. The whole week was even more incredible than I could have dreamed.
